Ca. AD 900 - 1000. A pair of pottery bowls, each exhibiting a ringed base and a deep, broad body. The exterior of one of the bowls showcases a captivating decorative scheme, featuring alternating rectangular-shaped fields painted in a harmonious palette of cream, beige, and green hues. The true essence of this Nishapur pottery bowl, however, lies in its interior, where a classical splashware design unfolds. Interwoven strands of yellow, green, and brown paints converge to create a visually mesmerizing pattern that adorns the bowl's inner surface. Nishapur splashwares, known for their distinctive splashed and marbled effects, were a testament to the artistic prowess and technical innovation of the potters of Nishapur during the Islamic Golden Age. These splashed designs were achieved through the skillful application of various colored slips onto the clay surface, resulting in a unique interplay of colors and textures. The combination of controlled patterns and spontaneous splashes created a sense of dynamic movement and visual intrigue.
